A Story and Some Comparisons. http://www.chrisheuer.com/2010/03/27/socialized-healthcare-in-sweden-a-story-and-some-comparisons/ Personal and Professional Thoughts on Life and Marketing Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:17:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Anita Kearney http://www.chrisheuer.com/2010/03/27/socialized-healthcare-in-sweden-a-story-and-some-comparisons/comment-page-1/#comment-193092 Anita Kearney Wed, 17 Nov 2010 01:21:34 +0000 http://www.chrisheuer.com/?p=1140#comment-193092 I am a freelance writer who was given an assignment to do scathing but funny piece on the horrors of socialized health care. while Googled the words funny and socialized health care I came across this piece. I devoured it, line by line and I have to say thank you for showing me the path. I will write this piece but I will not poke fun at something that could possibly be good for America. I will list the pros and cons and leave it at that and if you do not mind I would like to reference this article. I think it would do a lot of people good to hear of your experience in a health care system that has them frightened to their toes.

I didn't have the strength ... or the guts to detail the experience at the time and now I don't relish going over it. Most upsetting that they wouldn't pay attention to the fact that I hadn't been cured by their efforts and made it seem like something was wrong with ME. My most sincere good wishes for your journey. For someone like you, the blessings that come with such experiences will continue to outweigh the problems. That is my prayer. POSTSCRIPT: I deeply touched that you shared all this.

A terrifying experience. After relenting to an angiogram, they discovered a 70% closure and put in 5 stents. After the surgery THE SYMPTOMS PERSISTED. Long story short. It wasn't the closure that was causing the problem. It was long term, severe exhaustion that has been developing for many years. ( paradoxically manifested as hyperactivity, speech etc). I am being treated by Brian LaForgia L.Ac. and Jasmine Oberste L.Ac. Brian is known internationally for his expertise in Pulse Diagnostics. Jasmine is an associate & does sliding scale. If you want to gently heal the underlying problem w/o having statins, beta blockers & surgery thrown at you for a cure for the symptoms... I can't recommend them enough. Worth the trip to SF. Drop me a not if you want more info. March last year I had chest pains, headache… all the symptoms and ended up at Kaiser. A terrifying experience.

Too often we neglect to listen to our body and continue on as we are made of iron... Very relieved to hear that you are okay and hope by now you are safely back home. Kristie must have been worried to sick! I think this was a wake up call for you to now really take care of yourself! Your story has definitely reminded me that I need to do the same and I am sure many others feel the same way. Thank you again for sharing and take good care and look forward to seeing you both soon!

I don't know where to take this comment. For the moment, I will just echo my tweet from the midst of the course of events the past weekend - http://twitter.com/sliceonline/status/11095870608 - "Re:love the world. They're not just words for me. I walk the talk. Love and Respect. All will be fine! Be strong!" I will return with a full (health-confessional) blog post myself, and take it to some further implications and lessons learnt. And a "what's next" suggestion to get it straight. Then I ping it back to this posting when ready. Many hugs, and hope you now can rest beyond delivery in Copenhagen. Take care! PROFOUNDLY! With full and unconditional Love and Respect, your Swedish 'bro. Peace, Anders /a part of #thefamily/ PS. Good thing you got this blog post out, then you tie yourself to make something deeply about your lifestyle. Take advantage of this turning point. And keep it up! We are here to help in and beyond your "mid-course correction". You know it. DS. Dear Chris,
